electron: Installation electron failed

Issue Details

There was an error when I executed the command npm i -D electron@latest.

Try

npm config set ELECTRON_MIRROR http://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/

@amorist cdn.npm.taobao.org is not in use now.

I write a package (electron-version-manager) to download electron binary file instead of electron npm package. The package supports mirror options as same as electron-builder. It works fine for me.

试了很多办法,都不行,官方也没人出来说,这个好坑

add a path.txt in node_modules/electron folder, and put electron or electron.exe into the path.txt, and download version you want unzip into node_modules/electron/dist it work.

在node_modules/electron文件夹下建个path.txt, 写进electron或是electron.exe(windows)，去淘宝镜像上下载个对应版本的electron，解压到node_modules/electron/dist(没有就新建一个)文件夹下。

npx cross-env ELECTRON_GET_USE_PROXY=true GLOBAL_AGENT_HTTPS_PROXY=http://140.82.113.3:443 yarn works for me. 140.82.113.3 is github.com IP.

use https://ping.chinaz.com/github.com to get github.com`s IP

I see your id is Hei Shan Lao Yao. I think GFW caused your problem. Try add an environment variable to your system.

key: ELECTRON_MIRROR value: https://npm.taobao.org/mirrors/electron/
